Matt Berry built a cult following for his rich, exaggerated delivery in British comedy before reaching a wider audience as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the vampire mockumentary that ran from 2019. Short clips of his line readings circulate widely online because almost any ordinary phrase sounds like a grand declaration in his voice. This not paying moment is shared as a reaction clip for expensive bills and awkward money requests, keeping Berry's very serious refusal in rotation long after the episode aired.
